:: Postcard Swap ::

A little while ago Gracie organised a wonderful postcard swap. I was partner with the lovely Alicia who sent me a little package full of surprises!

"Be pretty if you can, be witty if you must, but be gracious if it kills you" - Elsie de Wolfe
I was completely spoilt - a great post card, a letter, stickers and a gluten free recipe! Wow!

Here is what I sent Alicia.
"Tell me what it is you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?" - Mary Oliver
"Some women are meant to change the world, while others are meant to hold it together" - Jodi Picoult, 'Second Glance'

I then sent a post card to Gracie to say thank you:
"Thank the Lord for the friends he cast in the play he wrote for you" - Unknown

What is your favourite quote? I had a hard time choosing the above, I have so many quotes that I love. I've actually decided to start a quote book!



Thank you Gracie for organising such a fun swap! I now have a new penpal!

    I've been collecting quotes for an upcoming blog month. I like ones that make you think differently, even if they are ones heard often, because they tend to work every time for me as though they are new.

    but here's another quot i love:

    "all changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another."

    Love your postcards. I decided not to do this swap as I felt so guilty about not sending you anything!

    This is so fantastic. I put together some of my fave people you and Alicia :) I'm so excited that you became pen pals out of it.

    I love my post card and it's going to be framed or at least pinned up somewhere.

    For a heads up I might be giving away some type of travelling mail kit :) x

    How lovely. My favorite quote from your list is definitely the one from Jodi Picoult. She's an excellent writer! x
